Well we can expand the definition to making it far. And I don't think Cirie is quite in the same league as those others, but comes close (although I have only seen two of her three seasons, so I can't really comment entirely).

Malcolm made it far last season but didn't really do anything overly brilliant in terms of strategy. If he makes it far and continues to play this way on this season, he could be a great but we shall see.

Bottom Line this week, Malcolm absolutely needs to offer Erick a F3 deal. Period. As far as I know he never made a F3 deal with Eddie and Reynold they just have had to rely on Malcolm. Malcolm has Eddie and Reynold in his pocket he could use for leverage. Erik will see that switching will benefit him and will easily convert. Then all they need is somehow offer Sheri something and Malcolm is set for several weeks

By Erik switching, and having a F3 he is now #2 on the totem pole, where with S.R.Us nobody knows who is where

Another situation, Malcolm needs to get rid of Andrea, Eddie and Reynold are getting too close to her. If Malcolm can somehow plan the votes for Andrea, Eddie and Reynold would have to rely completely on him to get to the end.

Well I was watching The Bold & The Beautiful today and at the beginning of the episode, Rick Forrester was talking to some guy, and then it shows the guy's face, and it was Malcolm, and then Malcolm congratulates Rick for winning the "fashion showdown" and then Rick says "thanks Malcolm, I couldn't do it without my mum (Brooke) and Hope" and then Malcolm says something like "just goes to show you, having the right alliances can make all the difference".

Can't stop laughing.

The Bold & The Beautiful is making a habit of casting reality show contestants for minor roles. Brenchel appeared in two episodes about a year or so ago. Brendon was a bartender and Rachel was his girlfriend and friends with Amber (another character on the show)/
